And the lady that claimed rape lied and then later assaulted her boyfriend and set his stuff on fire almost burning down part of her place. And then finally as stabbed and killed another man and is facing murder charges.
But yeah rev al jumped the shark on that one as well came to town and even after facts started coming out refused to back down. Those boys life's were ripped apart. Their season cancled. The DA lost his job and was disbarred and race relations were set further back.
On a personal note when I was young I was accused of assaulting a young teen girl. It was false an I was luck that some of her friends came forward and told the truth. I was never charged only questioned once in which case I was represented by the best attorney we could afford. It was all a lie. That same girl years later apologized via a random email I got when in college she had gotten hooked on drugs and alc and was in a treatment program part of their treatment was to contact people they did wrong and apologize. I forgave her but I will never forget.
